Global Field Program (GFP) graduate student Greg Harris of Cambridge, Massachusetts, published an article in the Earth Island Journal, and it was the featured cover story for the summer print issue. In "Charismatic Megafounders" he reflects on his 2023 Earth Expeditions to Thailand and asks: What happens when conservation leaders, like Dr. Pilai Poonswad Orri Vigfússon, and Wangari Maatha, step down? "In much the same way that the persistence of hornbills depends on this fragile exchange between generations," he writes. "The success of our human efforts at conservation depends on our ability to nurture the next generation of environmental stewards."

Harris is earning a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology from Miami through Project Dragonfly‘s GFP while working as a freelance writer and adjunct lecturer at Harvard University. Harris has taught writing at Harvard University since 2003 and is founding editor of Pangyrus LitMag.
